Self-Portrait

Artist: Maurice Molarsky (American, 1885-1950)

Date: n. d.

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Maurice Molarsky

Maurice Molarsky (1885 - 1950)[ was an American painter known for his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. His portraits are characterized by a traditional technique reminiscent of Velasquez. His landscapes and still lifes, however, are often painted in an airy, Impressionist style. He was equally comfortable working in either mode. Except for two years in Europe and six during which he kept a studio in New York City, Molarsky lived and worked in Philadelphia.

Portrait of Joseph Brewer

Artist: William McCance (Scottish, 1894-1970)

Date: 1925

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

Joseph Brewer was secretary to the editor of The Spectator magazine, for which the artist worked as art critic from 1923 to 1926. The vivid colours, metallic sheen and sculptural, robotic forms are typical of McCance's work of this period. In the early 1920s he began to schematize the human body, stripping it of detail, until it acquired a machine-like appearance. Many of McCance's paintings and drawings show figures reading, which may reflect his own work as a writer, his keen intellectual spirit and his interest in book design.

Edwin Morgan, 1920 -2010. Poet

Artist: Alexander Moffat (Scottish, born 1943)

Date: 1980

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland

Description

This work is part of a series of portraits of Scottish poets commissioned by the Scottish Arts Council. At this time in Scotland there existed an outstanding generation of poets which included Edwin Morgan, one of the most important Scottish poets of the twentieth century. From 1999 to 2002 he served as Glasgow’s Poet Laureate before being made the first ever ‘Scots Makar’ or Scotland’s national poet, in 2004. In this vibrant portrait, Moffat shows Morgan not only as a poet but also as a professor and critic. Moffat notes: “the Paolozzi print, the modernist chair, are literally there in his study. I’ve used these items to pay tribute to his surrealism and his use of scientific imagery”.
